1.	An aromatic compound 'X' with molecular formula C_(9)H_(10)O gives the following chemical tests (i) Forms 2,4-DNP derivative (ii)Reduces Tollen's reagent (iii)Undergoes Cannizzaro reaction and (iv)On vigorous oxidation 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid is obtained X is
Answer» Solution :(i) X forms 2,4-DNP derivatives, it shows that it is an aromatic compound substituted at 2-position. (ii) It REDUCES Tollen's reagent, it shows that it has an aldehyde group. (ii) It UNDERGOES Cannizaro REACTION, that also shows the presence of an aldehyde having no `alpha-`hydrogen. (IV) On vigorous oxidation, it PRODUCES 1,2-benzendicarboxylic acid. It shows that group are present at 1,2-position on benzene ring.
